No door to doors, sorry, live mail items, on frame..
hi,
This week and previous week I've had NO d2d's on my frame.
Manager just looked a bit confused and told me to "take a few from some other frames"
So I took 2 d2d's out this week, grabbed from a couple of other walks, on nearby frames....
Is this right? Thinking about it I should have just not taken any, as none were specifically earmarked for my walk. Manager obviously didn't want to see me going out without d2d....

Re: No door to doors, sorry, live mail items, on frame..
Your manager must be a bit thick.
If you haven't got any D2D contracts then you haven't got any D2D.That isn't rocket science.
If you start taking D2D from other frames, then they probably won't have enough to fulfil the contracts that have been booked and paid for.
How is RM going to drive the performance up to 100% if managers suggest we deliver D2D contracts to the wrong places?

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

This firm is unbelievable.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: No door to doors, sorry, live mail items, on frame..
No, not a wind-up.
No, no I don't want to do d2d's.
I just kind of checked with manager just after his chat about the new methods, 1/6 a day etc, and he said that no, there was no way I didn't have d2d's, there must have been a mistake, and so I should take some from another frame.
Will keep quiet next time. But then he'll try and pull me for wilful delay cos there'll be some arseh0le of a colleague will go and report that I've not been prepping and delivering d2d.

Re: No door to doors, sorry, live mail items, on frame..
I've had a control sheet both weeks since new system in place...
our sheets are blank, we fill in duty times, d2d contracts, and which part delivered.....
So i grabbed a supermarket d2d, and a double glazing d2d, cos a lot of my neighbouring duties had these 2, and put them in as the contracts....

Re: No door to doors, sorry, live mail items, on frame..
Mailmonkey.....you must be a new starter, wind up merchant or have one hell of a small walk to go looking for work.
If you aint got it ......you cant deliver it
If its a light day, do you go and pinch a street off another walk ? just to keep yourself occupied?

Re: No door to doors, sorry, live mail items, on frame..
Your office should have a display sheet for everyone to see how many d2d,s each delivery has that week, this should be on a notice board on the monday, that way no-one cannot know if they should have 1-2-4 d2d etc. Quite simple really so ask Dim to have one printed off as each office will be able to provide them, at least we do
